Listen up! It doesn't matter one whit whether the 500 chemical weapons found were pre-1991 weapons, it doesn't matter one whit if they are, in 2006, still viable. You idiots, Saddam Hussein swore he had NO weapons of mass destruction, chemical, biological or nuclear. We went to war for several reasons, not the least was the violation by Saddam of over a dozen UN resolutions. We gave him a final chance before the first bombs dropped to come clean and fess up. What? You think he just forgot that he had 500 shells filled with deadly chemicals. Fifteen of those shells is what it took to kill how many Kurds? Estmates are in the thousands. And before you go off, as Alan Combes did tonight on Hannity & Combes (FOX), and start spouting off about some unamed Defense Dept. source who says this is no big deal, I would remind you that what we are seeing in the short declassified .pdf says: "chemical munitions are assessed to still exist," this is in addition to the 500. And, this information comes directly from the National Director of Intelligence and is only a declassified summary. From the Santorum interview after the press conference, both Sen. Santorum and Rep. Hoekstra made it clear that there was more that they could NOT talk about that they learned as part of their classified intelligence briefings. So before you all start pounding your keyboards and running to the microphones and making even bigger fools of yourselves than you already have ... well never mind, you've already started.
